About this metric

Composite Repeatability combines launch-angle, spin-axis, and ball-speed-residual variation into a single score. Higher = more uniform across all axes. Best used to identify players whose entire swing — not just one component — is exceptionally repeatable.

Ben Polland
Stuff+ 93.2 · Composite Repeatability 0.84

Repeatable swing but below-median Stuff+. Frequently a signature of veterans who control the ball but lack speed.
